'Medicine' as a specialty

Main article: Internal Medicine Internal medicine is the medical specialty concerned with the diagnosis, management and

nonsurgical treatment of unusual or serious diseases, either of one particular organ system or of

the body as a whole. According to some sources, an emphasis on internal structures is

implied.[11]

 In North America, specialists in internal medicine are commonly called "internists".

Elsewhere, especially in Commonwealth nations, such specialists are often

called physicians.[12]

 These terms, internist  or physician (in the narrow sense, common outside

North America), generally exclude practitioners of gynecology and obstetrics, pathology,psychiatry, and especially surgery and its subspecialities.

Because their patients are often seriously ill or require complex investigations, internists do much

of their work in hospitals. Formerly, many internists were not subspecialized; such general

 physicians would see any complex nonsurgical problem; this style of practice has become much

less common. In modern urban practice, most internists are subspecialists: that is, they generally

limit their medical practice to problems of one organ system or to one particular area of medical

knowledge. For example, gastroenterologists and nephrologists specialize respectively in

diseases of the gut and the kidneys.[13]

 

In the Commonwealth of Nations and some other countries,

specialist pediatricians and geriatricians are also described as specialist physicians (or internists)

who have subspecialized by age of patient rather than by organ system. Elsewhere, especially in

North America, general pediatrics is often a form of Primary care. 

There are many subspecialities (or subdisciplines) of internal medicine: 

   Angiology/Vascular Medicine 

  Cardiology  

  Critical care medicine 

  Endocrinology  

  Gastroenterology  

  Geriatrics 

  Hematology    Hepatology  

  Infectious diseases 

  Nephrology  

  Neurology  

  Oncology  

  Pediatrics 

  Pulmonology/Pneumology/Respirology  

  Rheumatology  

Training in internal medicine (as opposed to surgical training), varies considerably across the

world: see the articles on Medical education and Physician for more details. In North

America, it requires at least three years of residency training after medical school, which can

then be followed by a one- to three-year fellowship in the subspecialties listed above. In

general, resident work hours in medicine are less than those in surgery, averaging about 60

hours per week in the USA. This difference does not apply in the UK where all doctors are

now required by law to work less than 48 hours per week on average.
